Summary: The Joy Divison cover band
Comment: First, I had NO problems with the sound quality on my discs. Second, my only REAL complaint is the lackluster booklet that comes with this "deluxe edition". C'mon, Rhino - this thing should be crammed with band pictures, sleeves and the ACTUAL SONG LISTINGS and TIMES ON BOTH DISCS! I shouldn't have to look at the cd to get the song titles! This is just plain lazy - you guys used to be the Cadillac of reissue labels - quite churning out Pintos! Now that we've got that behind us, this is a stunning debut from the post-Curtis years. It sounds like a Joy Divison album and that doesn't bother me one bit. It's better than all the over praised records they've done in the last 15 years and needs to be given it's due now! I think it's a wee bit better than Low-Life, but not quite the classic that Power, Corruption & Lies is. This is the turning point for a group that would become stadium huge (you can hear it changing in the non-lp singles on disc 2) and be a huge influence on another generation of artists, the same way Joy Division was. Not many groups can come back from the loss of a singer like Ian Curtis - Can you imagine the Stones without Mick? It would never work - and that's what makes New order so special.

Summary: Power Corrupted and Lousy
Comment: Just a note to Warners: And a Warning about source material for fans. I didn't know there were so many issues with these "Collectors Series"
Didn't Substance 1987 have better sources for some of the bonus material, or if you are lucky to have FACTUS 8 Everythings Gone Green CD. I guess New Order didn't rate very high with Warner to have better source material. I don't recall there being issues with Joy Divisions similar series.
And BTW don't pay over $20 if you do buy them. The imports aren't any different. I am a disappointed fan. SHAME

Summary: Rekindling Great Memories Through Great Music
Comment: This is a very nice two-disc set, and to my ears the songs sound as great as they ever did, if not better.
In "Movement" New Order channels the spirit of the Joy Division days at times, but this music represents a transition into new things. While the listener can almost hear the late Ian Curtis in places in "Movement", the extra tracks on the second disc, when taken as a whole, are something of a musical departure from the Joy Division sound. At this point the band was moving from the darkness of Joy Division into a more exuberant, beat-oriented sound, still embracing some of their recent past but also showing movement toward a new day.
This represents primitive, emotive, ambient dance music at its finest. What may sound minimalist at first listen becomes the kind of dense, layered, deep stuff that I can't resist moving to. "Movement", indeed! This music makes me want to get up and move as much as it did over 25 years ago.
If you haven't listened to New Order for quite a while, as I hadn't, this is a wonderful way to get back into their sound. Joy Division was a fine band, but so is New Order, as "Movement" clearly demonstrates.
Here's to the Factory label, and here's to Warner/Rhino for giving us all such a great treat!

Summary: Loaded with errors
Comment: The MUSIC on these New Order reissues get a 5/5, easily. However, there were far too many egregious mistakes made in the creation of the discs themselves to give them a pass. Only the first discs were re-mastered though they still have some problems, it is the bonus discs that are an absolute mess.
Warner Music/Rhino know about these problems, but there is yet no word on any forthcoming fixes. So I'd hold off until these issues are addressed.
Noted below are the specific problems with the Movement reissue:
1. Dreams Never End
2. Truth
3. Senses
4. Chosen Time
5. I.C.B
6. The Him - Glitch at 5:25-5:26
7. Doubts Even Here
8. Denial
- bonus disc:
1. Ceremony
2. Temptation (click at 3:47)
3. In A Lonely Place (levels are maxed out which has caused clipping)
4. Everything's Gone Green
5. Procession
6. Cries & Whispers (mislabeled as "Mesh") (glitches at 0:06, 0:07, 0:08, 0:28, 0:34, and 0:45)
7. Hurt - (Glitches at 0:00, 0:37, 1:05[right channel pop], 1:07, 3:04, 3:48, 4:06, 6:19, 6:24, 7:07, 7:26, 7:59)
8. Mesh (mislabeled as "Cries & Whispers") - Evidence of scratched vinyl at 0:28, 0:30, 0:35, 0:37, 1:05, 1:07, 1:09, 1:12, 1:14, 1:19, 1:21, 1:40, 1:41, 2:08, 2:09, 2:17, 2:18, 2:19, 2:24, 2:26, 2:28, 2:33, 2:35.

Summary: The bonus songs rule
Comment: Say what you want about the original Movement album itself, but the disc of bonus songs on this edition is truly amazing. Songs like Procession and Ceremony are my favorite kind of New Order songs. One reason I enjoy these discs is that the band is exploring and is not sure where they are going - it is transitional, but very unique. New Order later fully realized their sound with great confidence, but I prefer their awkward phase for some reason. Maybe this is a collection for listeners who are more Joy Division fans than New Order fans, not that such a distinction is necessary. As to the glitches - I've noticed a few sound flaws here and there, but it doesn't take away from my overall enjoyment of this edition. It is disappointing that the record company would release a CD with any errors, but the situation does not seem as dire to my untrained ears as described elsewhere.

Editorial Reviews:

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1981 album from the Manchester quartet, one of the most successful and consistent bands of the '80s and beyond. After the suicide of vocalist, Ian Curtis, the three surviving members of Joy Division regrouped under the band name New Order, adding Gillian Gilbert on keyboards. The rest, as they say, is history. Disc One in this package contains the original album in its digitally remastered glory. Disc Two is filled with 10 non-album singles, B-sides and remixes. This is as great as it gets! Rhino UK. 2008.
